The objective of defen
sible space is to reduce the
wildfire threat to a home by
changing the characteristics
o f the adjacent vegetation.
Defensible space practices
include:
Increasing the moisture
content o f the vegetation.
Decreasing the amount
o f flammable vegetation.
Shortening plant height.
Altering the arrangement
of plants.

defensible space.” The three R’s
stand for removal, reduction and
replacement.
Removal: This technique in
volves the elimination o f the
entire plant or tree from the site.
Examples of removal are cut
ting down a dead tree or cutting
out a flammable shrub.
Reduction: The removal of
plant parts, such as branches or
leaves, is considered reduction.
O ther examples o f reduction
are pruning dead wood from a
shrub, removing low branches
and mowing dried grasses also
known as removing ladder fu
els.
Replacement: Substituting
hazardous vegetation for less
flammable plants. Removal
of a dense stand o f flam
mable shrubs and planting an
irrigated, well-maintained
flowerbed is an example of
replacement.
Don’t want to mow lawns
or water flowers? N o t to
worry. I f you don’t want the
extra work of a garden or a
lawn, you can still have your
defensible space. Use rock or
gravel to create your defen
sible space.
Get creative.
If you have any questions,
please call Fire Management
